Lack of taste somehow tastes good

Lately I've been inspired of many unstylish things, such as rapper Nicki Minaj. Most of the time she looks like an ungly doll, but lately also like a beautiful barbie in different variety of packages.

Madonna was from the beginning, and still is often, rated unstylish based on her looks and salacious attitude, but she has influenced strongly on fashion since the 80's. When I first saw Lady Gaga's Poker Face video, it was totally cheap disco music for me, after some months and after other songs I sang along and was admiringly browsing Gaga's special looks in net. In Gaga's gigs girls of all ages in different cities are wearing something gagaish.

After all it might be that those tastless and unstylish are the coolest thing you can imagine just after you get to used to it. For younger generation sucking in influneces comes as natural as chipping Pepsi Max but for us others it is inspiring just after a while and then tastes really sweet.

The Ultimate Storyteller Lady Gaga

| I saw Gaga live in Helsinki last autumn. Last week I saw her on tv, same show as in Helsinki was filmed in Madison Square Garden. |
In the beginning there were people telling stories they believed to be true. Then came the marketing people, artists and politics. Elvis Presley and President Kekkonen hold remarkable stories of their childhood and success.
Today is very much about stories and Lady Gaga. Every brand has a story to be told of themselves and about every product of theirs. People like stories. It is easier to remember and understand things when they are in a story-format, beginning-middle-end.
Gaga’s show is a combination of art forms, standing for equality and entertainment. She’s a brilliant performance artist and story teller. Her success story is amazing and the phenomena around this Mother Monster, one of a kind. She has done much for her age (26!), for example set foundation called Born This Way Foundation, for empowering youth and inspiring bravery. Go Gaga, I’m loving it.
End of story.
